    It’s been a bad month for me, also. Very painful times.

    Av is a month of bad tidings.

    I’m sure if you searched the news every month you can find many more things. I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove.

    Again, context is everything.

    Is this more or less than the number one would expect in any given month? In any given July?

    It would seem you pulled this list off the web somewhere. Do the same list for 1 or 2 other months, then we can see if your headline is true.

    July is the only secular month which always has at least 1 Tzom, so July is doomed to be a bad month.

    As for the Spanish train crash, drivers making cell phone calls is lethal all 365 days of the year, and not just in July.
